HARD HOUSE according to CRAIG JONES

Q - What is your first Hard House Experience? A -Clubbing wise was Mind Over Matter at Camden Palace in 2000/2001 but the first time I heard hard house was with my brother when I was about 14 years old.

Q - What one track gets you on the dance floor?

A: - Back to Front’ by Phil Reynolds & Nick Sentience

Q - Which track defines hard house in your mind? A - As cliche as this is, I would probably have to say Tony De Vit - Are You All Ready.

Q - What one HH track do you wish you had produced?A - KY Jelly Babies remix of Access as it’s probably the most played hard house track ever (?) and still doesn’t get boring (for me anyway)

Q - Is there a commercial pop track that you think is crying out for a hard house mix? A - Hmmm nothing really comes to mind. I do take influence and ideas for riffs and melodies from non dance music though.

Q - What is the longest set you have played? A - Two hours

Q - As a clubber, do you prefer the big production large crowd nights or the smaller more intimate underground ones?A - I think they both have their pros and cons really. I started going to Mind Over Matter and Frantic at Camden Palace so I had only really experienced bigger clubs/events until a bit later on. I love it when then atmosphere is there on the bigger clubs but then I love the intimacy of smaller clubs too.
